Start with clear answers
Understanding the cause of your shoulder pain
Know what’s behind your pain before deciding what comes next.
Shoulder pain can make it harder to reach, lift, work, exercise, sleep, and move comfortably through daily life. Symptoms may begin suddenly after an injury or develop gradually over time.
Southern Oregon Orthopedics provides specialty shoulder care in Medford and Grants Pass. Our team evaluates pain, stiffness, weakness, instability, limited motion, and other shoulder concerns, then helps you understand what is causing your symptoms and what treatment options may be appropriate.
When to see a shoulder specialist
It may be time to schedule an evaluation if:
- Shoulder pain is not improving
- Stiffness or reduced range of motion is affecting how you move
- Arm weakness is making daily tasks harder
- Shoulder pain worsens with certain movements
- Your shoulder feels like it may pop out of the socket
- Pain started after a fall, sports injury, or accident
- Shoulder symptoms are affecting work, sleep, exercise, or normal activity
You do not have to wait until shoulder pain becomes severe to get answers. If your shoulder is limiting the way you move or live, it is worth getting it evaluated.

Diagnosis and treatment
How shoulder pain is diagnosed
A clear answer helps your specialist recommend the right treatment
Shoulder pain can come from several different structures inside and around the joint, and the right treatment depends on knowing what is causing the problem. Southern Oregon Orthopedics uses diagnostic evaluation to identify the source of shoulder pain, weakness, instability, stiffness, or limited motion.
Diagnostic services may include: digital X-ray, MRI, CT scan, and ultrasound.
Shoulder replacement surgery
When shoulder pain limits daily life
When shoulder pain or symptoms persist despite treatment, shoulder replacement surgery may be the next step. Southern Oregon Orthopedics offers shoulder replacement surgery for conditions such as arthritis and other forms of advanced shoulder joint damage.
Shoulder replacement, also known as shoulder arthroplasty, involves removing damaged parts of the shoulder joint and replacing them with artificial components. Presurgical and postsurgical rehabilitation programs are also available to support recovery.
The goal is to relieve pain, improve mobility, and help patients resume normal activities.
